Mike Vernon in game 7 OT vs the Canucks in 1989.... arguably the greatest goaltending performance under the most pressure in history - his glove hand was magical that night.
i remember watching that as a 14 year old on sports channel america i was up until 1am watching it on long island. his glove was on fire that night and he also made an insane skate save in overtime on a one timer
@@justinuptonn261 Name me one excellent goalie who wasn't thrashed at some point in his career. In Liut's case, one of them is that high profile Canada Cup massacre that was not entirely his fault but earned him a bad rep from those who weren't following him closely. Alot of fans swear by Dryden but he let in 7 goals in Montreal in the first game of the 72 summit series and has generally performed poorly against the Soviets. When evaluating a player, his career results, style of play and his team support carry the weight and not a few bad games. Liut performed very well in his rookie year. In his 2nd season he posted a record of 33-14-3 earning him the Lester B Pearson trophy awarded to the league MVP by his peers, a slot on the 1st all star team and runner up to Gretzky for the Hart trophy. 86-87 2nd all star team. In 89-90 he posted the lowest GAA in the NHL. He has the most wins by a goalie in the 80s and the most shut outs in the 80s. He did not always have the benefit of a great defense. He was effective in large part due to his tight control and balance, minimal compact movement. A gifted athlete.
Yep, When they wore normal pads and were truly under siege. Hasek was borderline miraculous at times...a guy so good he would bait shooters into thinking something is there and then would snatch it away with an amazing save. Really enjoyed watching him as well as guys like Fuhr, Felix the Cat etc
I love the way these old style goalies play, so much fun to watch~ It was unfortunately an outdated way to play by the time the high scoring 80's rolled around, and goalies really needed to catch up on the meta-game with the game advancing so quickly in all other aspects, but the 90s was when the style really found it's footing, incorporating the best of new techniques and equipment with the raw skill of reaction-style goalies. It's something we'll probably never get to see again in the highly optimized styles of today.
@@HT-sm9dmAnd due to better technique, training, competition, dieting, skill, etc… Also there’s no need for quotation marks, goalies are way better now than ever.
Hockey would have a chance to be the number 1 sport in all of North America if that happened. The shift to water resistant, feather light goalie equipment and springboard like sticks has taken nearly all of the beauty out of this sport.
Love the music to this. And the brilliant acrobatic saves. Real goaltending love that 5:06 save on Super Mario. Among the fastest glove snags I have ever seen🤯
I usually hate music with hockey highlights Except for this is i love how it goes with the exiting Saves And I Love that you only dont have goalie saves yea Put Goalie hits and goals
My favorite period of goaltending... acrobatic. Now giants playing goal drop to butterfly on every shot. The stand up guys were the most exciting to watch.
3:17 i love how this goalie just instictively baseball swings at the player as soon as he realized hes hooked on an opponents stick. Hockey was basically a combat sport back then.
No it’s not fuck face you’re obviously a boomer who isn’t a goalie n if you’re not a boomer that’s even grosser. Come back when you know what you’re talking about
Lots of modern fans who haven't watched for long get mad when you bring up the goalie equipment or suggest there is an advantage. Idk man old goalies with the older non profly pads were so much more different and exciting to watch. And I was a goalie who played with modern pads so I'm not just saying that.
Yep. Goalies don't make saves anymore, they simply sit and block shots because the equipment allows them to do that by covering up all the wholes that used to exist.
@@vaultsuitwhat? The fk are you talking about? Every single one of thee guys would royally and medievally serve your 🍑 in any manner of athletic competition. Fkn Gen Z dweeb.
i played net back then. The pads were smaller, heavier, got heavier as the game went on. Defense was minimal, it good be a scrambly firewagon style. Shot blocking...far less than today. You faced more quality scoring chances. No butterfly yet...though it was creeping in take any modern goalie and put them in those pads and that environment...they'd struggle
if you put any goalie today in the goal pads they wore then , you would be back to this style..it's that simple , people talk about technique..plenty of technique involved in what these guys are doing you simply can't move the same way when doen ij a butterfly with the pads in the 80's or 90's, you didn't see Brodeur doing it and he was rocking a throwback style not that long ago, Butterfly existed but moving once in the butterfly was not the same at all, as the pads weren't designed to do that
💯 and 10. People are so stupid nowadays. But hey that’s what happens when you’re raised on participation trophies. You grow up thinking you’re the best at everything with 0 credentials to back it up. And they take this mentality towards comparing their era to the past.
@@Roberte9834 everything is lighter no question and they weren’t designed as a rigid pad that slides and works as a hinge with your leg . The pads do the butterfly for you.
I'm sorry, but as fun as this style was to watch, if you out a goalie in these size pads and techniques in the NHL today Gretzky's records are all gonna be gone
That's why when I play in my reck league with a bunch of 20 somethings and i'm making kick saves they look at me like i'm crazy. The only way I know how to play goalie. Time to hang the pads up, LOL I'm outdated. Getting old sucks!
no dude, don't hangem' up. Culture survives when you teach the next generation. Im a Canadian living in New Zealand and I'm old school. Confuses the shit out of shooters because I don't butterfly and give up on shots. Be the goalie that you are and inspire others.
That is the style I played but as a goalie, the new style of play is way more sound! Not as flashy but position is 90% of goal tending and today's style is focused on being in the perfect position and needing way less movement side to side.
it seems like all goalies do now days in the NHlL is get on their knees and spread their legs to get in the butterfly position on every single shot, the pads are so big it covers like 80% of the net
I love watching old style goalies make those acrobatic saves. Unfortunately, the increased attacking prowess of newer generations of hockey players, beginning with Gretzky and Lemieux iirc, led to the old stand-up style being rendered obsolete. Once Patrick Roy popularized the butterfly style, and goalkeeping equipment was modernized, the Goalie position evolved to the point of no return. One can't argue that goalkeeping nowadays is more effective in stopping pucks, especially from low shots. And there are still goalies of the modern Butterfly era who wow us with their reflexes and athleticism (e.g. Nabokov, Kiiprusoff, Rinne, Rask, Price, Vasilevskiy). However, watching the old style still brings a nostalgic feeling.
Also, while the modern masks are more protective and have cool patterns, I always though that the Parent-esque Full Face mask looked badass. And while the Smith/Hasek/Irbe wire cage has its critics, it also triggers pleasant Nostalgic feelings.
@@stevebenoit5295 I feel like goalkeeping might evolve into a "Hybrid" style that combines the butterfly and stand up. The butterfly eliminates low shots, but playing a bit of stand up allows goalies to move better, deal with passes, and stop high shots. Having a combo of the two IMO is the ideal style. Unfortunately, you need to have Rask-level skill to play it. One thing that makes the butterfly attractive to goalies is that it's relatively easy to pick up, and is a feared tool if used properly. Once you master it, low shots are practically useless vs. the goalie.
@@Pokemonmaster150b Yes,but they are getting beat up high and the shooters know it. Brodeur was the first and last to use old school and butterfly style. Tony Esposito really started the butterfly style but there were earlier goalies that played low like Sawchuck.
If any of your played net before, you'd know why they'd never switch back to this style. I started out playing stand up in street hockey, then moved onto butterfly, and never went back since.
From a spectator standpoint I'd love to see this come back just the excitement and chaos were awesome. From a play perspective this will never come back.
Ray C , and that why they keep getting beat in the corners. Their a bigger target in the crouch or standing position. Goalies like Plante, Parent would have 30 shutouts each today. The shooters wouldn't know what to do.

Michaelbos I have to call total bs on this. The shooters today are way more accurate and shoot harder than ever before. An NHL goalie almost never gets beaten in a straight shot. Old school goalies playing with old school style would get lit up in a beer league match. There’s a reason nobody uses or teaches the old school style of goaltending anymore, it just isn’t good.
@@WristFreeze97dude you have to be the king of Gen Z. Just casually ignoring the change in equipment for both player sticks and especially goalies.

Great film. I bet those old school horsehair pads weighed a ton! And does anyone realize what a fabulous goaltender Grant Fuhr was? Had a dam good pair of fists as well.
Shots are harder today because of composite sticks. The NHL needs to learn some lessons from MLB. Bats are wooden and have been since the beginning. If the NHL regulated the equipment more we could have a more exciting game. Wooden sticks decrease shot velocity. Then you can decrease the maximum dimensions of goalie pads safely, which would change the style of play for a lot of goalies that rely on those dimensions. The other alternatives are to make the net larger, just like MLB brought the fences in and lowered the mound. This would also force goalies to play a more athletic style but may have the unintended consequence of phasing out sub 6 foot tall goalies forever.
@@leighton_knapp a lot of golies of the yesteryear would be dramatically undersized to play today - Darren Pang is the most obvious case, even though he was tiny back then too
It waa too dangerous because back then they shot up allot and if u did, then u have a good chance of getting hit on the head wich can break your nose or cheeck bone, because the masks were not as protective as today
This video is a prime example of why I feel all the nitpicky BS goalie coaches force on today's goalies is just that, BS. Just get something on the puck; a skate, pad, glove, anything. It doesn't have to be this perfect angle, sound positioning stuff. The puck stayed out and that's all that matters at the end of the day.
I wish goalies were this fun to watch today. But they made the pads so big there is hardly any movement. Now they just look like suma wrestles doing splits.
lol okay. so if we gave you pads, that big, you could post the same stats as Braden Holtby? It looks easy because the goalies worked hard, to make it look easy.
Bob Butts The only reason holtby or any of the new guys have great stats is because they block more net than these guys. Goalie pads as big as they are now make the game less interesting because they hardly have to move.
Bob Butts No I won't have the same stats but goalies now don't require as much work but just to butterfly the whole time. Back then to have good stats you had to work your ass off with non accommodating equipment. If let's say Fuhr was in holtbys pads he would have better stats than if Holtby put on the old Coopers. I am a goalie myself and I prefer the old style more even though it takes more work than just doing butterfly yoga the whole game.
some of these are certainly from the early 90's! take for instance any saves against the LA Kings when they were wearing the gold and silver jerseys. They only switched to these prior to the 88-89 season. Some of the Patrick Roy saves against them are most definitely from the 93 Stanley Cup Finals!! perhaps true hockey fans no more about hockey than you Bad News Brown??
OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I spent hours and hours and hours as a kid editing most of these saves into my highlight tapes that I made, and still have :) Sitting in my room with 2 VCRs connected together. Getting the timing down perfect of when to unpause the recording VCR to hit the exact point you wanted the save to enter your highlight reel Doing it so many times to get the save enter point and end point perfect! Not easy with some VCRs back in the day lol. Recording every game and highlight reel you could from all the sports networks. Sifting through all the games and highlights looking for saves, and different angles of the save. At the end having hours and hours of save after save after save from all my favourite goalies :) And the best part of it all... Not having 1 save from the most over rated goalie in NHL history... even more over rated than Hasek... you guessed it... Grant 'the sieve' Fuhr Thanks for flooding the memories back into my mind :) And you have my Favourite Roy saves on it :) :) :) That alone will get you a sub from me. Almost lost it tho putting all those Poop Fuhr saves next to Roy ones, almost missed a few of them cause I was gagging lol

@0:42 Involuntary "OH FUCK!" out of my noise hole
OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I spent hours and hours and hours as a kid editing most of these saves into my highlight tapes that I made, and still have :) Sitting in my room with 2 VCRs connected together. Getting the timing down perfect of when to unpause the recording VCR to hit the exact point you wanted the save to enter your highlight reel Doing it so many times to get the save enter point and end point perfect! Not easy with some VCRs back in the day lol. Recording every game and highlight reel you could from all the sports networks. Sifting through all the games and highlights looking for saves, and different angles of the save. At the end having hours and hours of save after save after save from all my favourite goalies :) And the best part of it all... Not having 1 save from the most over rated goalie in NHL history... even more over rated than Hasek... you guessed it... Grant 'the sieve' Fuhr
Thanks for flooding the memories back into my mind :) And you have my Favourite Roy saves on it :) :) :) That alone will get you a sub from me. Almost lost it tho putting all those Poop Fuhr saves next to Roy ones, almost missed a few of them cause I was gagging lol
Modern goaltending is by a mile better but old school is so neat to watch!
hey, good video
